	Abstract of NPAC's Supercomputing 96 Tutorial
		We describe key Web Technologies with illustrations of their use
			Java, JavaScript, VRML, Web-linked Databases, Collaboration
		We describe a Web Software Architecture with NII (National Information Infrastructure) applications built on top of generic services which are themselves built with Web Technologies and implemented on top of the "WebWindows" operating environment
		We review NII services which include  Commerce, Desk(Web)Top productivity, InfoVision (multimedia information dissemination), Collaboration and MetaComputing
		We describe NII applications such as manufacturing briefly and focus on three areas:
			Education: The Virtual University and empowering children ..
			Web HPCC: MetaComputing and use of Java for High Performance Scientific and Engineering Computation
			Health Care: Web based interfaces for disabled individuals, Telemedicine and Patient record databases
	Some Critical Emerging Web Technologies 
		Java -- a partially interpreted C++ like language (script) allowing fully interactive clients which execute applets.
			Likely to become dominant Software Engineering Language in future
			And even more likely to be dominant language for science and engineering as can be compiled efficiently
		JavaScript -- A fully interpreted Web Systems integration Language
		VRML -- a 3 dimensional HTML allowing universal description of physical objects and allowing interchange of virtual worlds, commercial product designs etc. Latest version 2.0 suuports interactivity
		Web-linked Databases such as Oracle connected to emerging JDBC (Java Database Connection)

	Abstract ofWarner's Health Care Presentation
		The focus of this course will be on the design of intelligent web-based interface systems. Web technologies provide a unique opportunity to rapidly develop human computer interface systems. Such systems provide a rich medium for augmented human expression thus enriching human-human communication and improving Quality of Life.  
		The following WEB systems will be explored:
		CARE-WEB: A prototype system developed for Health Care will be discussed in the context of Telemedicine and Distributed Medical Intelligence. 
		NeatTools: A Web based Expressional interface system being developed to enable disabled persons to fluently express themselves.
		PULSAR: A free Web service for disabled Web users. A Web-based resource repository providing free software, pointers to inexpensive interface hardware and intelligent directories of resources, support groups and other relevant information for disabled Web users.
		GROK-BOX: A Web-based collaboratory for interactive perceptualization. An instrumented environment for experiencing and communicating complex information. 
		SMARTDESK: A instrumented learning environment which allows for dynamic tracking of a ÒlearnerÕsÓ navigational trajectory through a Web-based content delivery system.
